Surface Acoustic Waves Equip Materials with Active De-Icing Functionality: Unraveled Glaze Ice De-Icing Mechanisms and Application to Centimeter-Scale Transparent Surfaces

Enabling active de-icing functionality on low heat conductive and transparent materials is a requirement for several seminal industries in critical economic sectors. However, developing efficient and environmentally friendly de-icing methods still fails because of compatibility problems with large-scale devices and real-world conditions. In this paper, de-icing several square centimeters covered with thick layers of glaze…
